Unknown India : 10 Amazing Photos From Places That Few Tourists Get To
Many people think that almost everything has been written about India. Religion, festivals, serious sadhus, sacred cows and numerous articles on the history of this country give reason to believe. Travel to India is sometimes associated with crowds of local beggars and tourists.
But in fact, if you deviate from the traditional tourist route, today in India you will find surprisingly beautiful and lonely places.
1. Maguri Beal, Assam
Maguri Beale is a wetland full of birds. This swampy lake is located behind the local national park. Going to Maguri Bill is not easy, you need to negotiate with the guide on board. In addition, this lake is very popular among bird watchers all over the world.
2. Tea Plantation Kolukkumalai, Tamil Nadu
Usually, the tea garden looks unattractive, but because of its geographical location, this place is unique. It is rare to see tea trees growing on hillsides above small valleys where such a low valley looks small.

3. Hulongapar Monkey Sanctuary, Assam
In the northeastern state of Assam, you can find a small dense forest (about 20 square kilometers) in which one of the rarest monkeys in India lives. This forest may be the only passage where you can watch the Hulk Gibbons in its natural habitat. Today, the species is threatened with complete extinction and is listed in the Red Book.
4. Dolmens Marayur, Kerala
Dolmens is a prehistoric burial chamber, which usually looks like four standing stones with a fifth stone on it. Similar structures can be found all over the world. In Marayur, you can find dozens of sarcophagi built in 10,000 BC.
5. Siju Cave, Meghalaya
During the rainy season, it is almost impossible to reach one of the longest caves in India due to flooding. Locals call the huge Siju Cave "Dabakhol" (translated as "Bat Cave"). The tour guide said that the maximum distance could be one kilometer because the cave was not studied further.
6. Kugti Nature Reserve, Himachal Pradesh
The Kugti Nature Reserve in the Chamba area seems to have barely moved, and there are few hiking trails in the dense jungle. Therefore, if you manage to negotiate with the local shepherd, you can enter a barren, unaffected area.
7. Village On The International Border, Nagaland
From Longwa Mountain Village, you can directly enjoy the magnificent views of the valleys and mountains around the border between India and Myanmar. Strangely, the house of the local leader is located on the border between the two countries. Longwa likes to joke that the principal is dining in India and sleeping in Myanmar.
8. Ayyankere, Karnataka
When people first saw a picture of this tranquil lake, it was surrounded by lush greenery and there was a footbridge above them. They often did not believe it was India. In fact, the lake is located in the Chikmagalur area of Karnataka. At sunset, Ayankel looks like something else.
9. Chitrakot Waterfall, Chhattisgarh
In India, there are many waterfalls commonly called "Indian Niagara". Chitrakot Falls in Chhattisgarh is one of the most beautiful waterfalls, with a width of 300 meters (only one third less than Niagara). Once you see it, you will never forget the water feature that fell from a height of more than 30 meters.
10. Shekhavati Open Air Art Gallery, Rajasthan
The art traditions in Shekhavati have been admiring people for more than 200 years. It used to be a prosperous area, and many trade routes passed through the area. Now Rajasthan is a semi-desert place, and the greatness of the past can only be seen in Shekhavati's paintings.
